The Crystal Basilisk is the unofficial name for a member of a species that was eaten by Lion in "Lion 2: The Movie". A living Crystal Basilisk can be seen being chased away by Lion in "Lion 4: Alternate Ending", and Lion eats another one in "Reunited".
Appearance[]
A Crystal Basilisk retreating from Lion.
The Crystal Basilisk is a small reptile resembling a sort of lizard. Its body has a smooth external surface and a "cadet blue" color, though variants in their color exist as compared between the two in "Lion 2: The Movie" and "Lion 4: Alternate Ending", the latter having a "Lochmara blue" skin color. Its eyes are devoid of pupils, leaving a pale turquoise sclera. Its defining feature, which earned the prefix in the name, are the six faceted crystalline spines protruding from its back. The crystalline spines can be colored light neon blue (in "Lion 2: The Movie") or apple green (in "Lion 4: Alternate Ending").
Trivia[]
- Despite its appearance, the species is not related to Gems since it does not poof when Lion consumes it in "Lion 2: The Movie" and instead leaves behind a corpse.
- Only the bottom half of the animal was seen in its first appearance, as Lion had eaten the top half.
Crystal Basilisk in "Lion's Share".
- Another half-eaten Crystal Basilisk appears in Issue 6 of the comic book series, in the story "Lion's Share".
- Another half is seen being coughed up by Lion in "Lion 4: Alternate Ending". Later in the same episode, the entire profile of the animal is seen.
- Though seemingly not part of the animal, white feathers appear around the corpse of the Crystal Basilisks seen in "Lion 2: The Movie" and Issue 6.
